Consider Shower Enclosures for Your Bathroom Renovation
Anyone looking to renovate their bathroom will be certainly looking into their options in regard to showers, shower enclosures, screens and fittings. There are a huge range of alternatives available and each one has their own benefits and advantages. Choosing which one is right for your project will be a matter of personal taste, your individual needs, your budget and the room itself. The main thing that most people will be looking for, however, when it comes to showers is an effective way to contain the water to the shower recess itself.
One option that you may be considering is a tiled shower recess with a shower screen. This design allows you to integrate the shower almost seamlessly into the rest of your bathroom, creating a good sense of space. While these offer the added advantage of being able to customise the shape and size of your shower to best suit your room there are many practical considerations in regard to these. The slope of the floor needs to be carefully calculated to prevent water from leaking out and the expense of a fully tiled shower recess can dramatically increase the cost of your bathroom renovation. In order for these shower recesses to be fully functional they should be done by a professional and so if you are undertaking your renovation yourself it may not be the best option for you.
As an alternative you may wish to consider free-standing shower enclosures. Free-standing enclosures come in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs, with a price range to suit any budget. Whatever your requirements, you will be guaranteed to find a product that will suit your needs. You can select from a range of triangular and square shapes or for something different there is also a growing range of curved units available. These ready-made shower units come with a water tight shower screen built in and you can choose from a traditional framed screen or for a little extra you also have the option of a more fashionable frameless shower screen.
These types of shower enclosures are certainly functional and as they are easy to install, they are a great option for those needing a quick bathroom renovation or for anyone wanting to take on the project themselves. They provide a clean finish to any bathroom and are just perfect for the smaller bathroom where space is an issue. Because they come as one complete unit they are also water tight and so the risk of water damage from a leaking shower is severely reduced.
